best meatballs ever!

by ilovefoodz

If you drive past this resturant on Le Jeune Road and blink you might miss it. the service was great and extremely quick. the food was awesome, and I'm the last person to want to try a new italian resturant.

it's worth the parking hassle for those who don't live or work in walking distance.

and the italian waiters are a bunch of hotties.

• Pros: waiters/atmosphere
• Cons: location (it's too hidden)

Love it

by kjolley

I haven't actually been to the new location so maybe the small venue---big demand has been addressed. Although the ambiance was awesome in the old locale so I can't even complain about the cons. I love that it has a story behind it...the ex-boxer bringing his family style Italian to those lucky few of us in Coral Gables area. Here's my disclaimer, I am not a big Italian food fan but I'm married to one. And eating at Randazzos is not a compromise...its great no matter what and everyone we take there raves about it, including Italians. Favs...Randazzos salad...the meatballs...warning they are huge. Penne pasta w. meatball and sausage...no choice is a bad choice.

• Pros: Great Family Style Italian Food
• Cons: Small Venue---Big Demand

Randazzo's is HOME!

by Pucha444

My boyfriend loves italian food. I was searching on the web for a fab italian restaurant for my boyfriend's surprize birthday. I found Randazzo's and I am so glad I did.. This place was amazing.. I had a little surprize bday party planned for him with some close friends and family and Randazzo's waiters were all into it.. The food was amazing.. It reminded me of Little Italy from home in NY. It was cozy and small but very family oriented. Did I say the food was Amazing?? My boyfriend ordered the meatballs and was raving about them all the way home. I had the raviolis and couldn't finish them up, they were soooooo good.. My daughter had the chicken parm and mom had the salomon and both dishes were yummy. The portions were huge enough to feed an Army and the appetizers were enoromus! The calamari and the mozzarella to die for.. I sneaked in a cake of my favorite bakery for my boyfriend and the waiters surprized my hunny with the cake and sang Happy Birthday for him. It was definitely an eventful time. The highlight of the evening was meeting the famous boxer, owner, cook himself. We complimented on the food and told him we loved it here and he was very humble, gracious and an awesome guy.. We will definitely be returning real soon.

• Pros: Just like home
• Cons: parking

by ardimo77

Went here with my wife to be last week, had a great time. Great atmosphere, wine list is good, excellent service you have to try the salad, wow. Food is amazing, real Italian American like, you will never find this stuff anywhere else in Miami. WoW the size of the plates, was that all for me or did you confuse my order with Bobby Baccalieri's? Amazing place, go there you wont regret it.

• Pros: Everything
• Cons: Nothing

WOW Meatballs

by isabellopez

Love this place! Cozy, feels like you are part of the family. Food and ambiance are always excellent. You must have the meatballs as part of your main dish or talk the waiter into breaking the rules and just order them as a sidedish. Ample menu, with something for everyone. Although, if you go during the evenings or peak lunch hours, you could be waiting for a while.

• Pros: Ambiance, Food
• Cons: Wait time

VERY FAMILIARY AND GOOD.

by mikarpanen

IT'S HARD FOR ME GOING TO EAT AT AN ITALIAN RESTAURANT OUTSIDE ITALY, BUT I WAS AFFASHINATED FROM THIS PLACE. AND I HAD A GOOD EXPERIENCE! LOOK... BE CAREFUL WITH THE PORTIONS... THEY'RE INCREDIBLE BIG!!!!!! I ATE A SAUGE ANTIPASTO ND IT WAS VERY GOOD AND TASTY. I ATE ALSO VEAL SCALOPPINE WITH ROASTED POTATOES AND LET ME TELL YOU... THE MEAT WAS VERY SOFT AND FLAVOURY, LIKE THE POTATOES. A GOOD BOTTLE OF WINE, ESPRESSO, AND THE EXPERIENCE WAS GOOD.

• Pros: GOOD FOOD.
• Cons: PARKING.

Best Comfort Italian

by ctguru

Let's face it, there is nothing like comfort food, specially if it's some pasta. Randazzo's has it. It's not the "fancy exotic" that has popped up all around, it's the down and dirty mama's cuisine that will fill you up and leave no space for dessert (although there is always space for dessert). For example, there is nothing in town like the "sunday gravy" they serve, and trust me, the price is based on the amount of food you will be getting. Add to that a very nice wine list, friendly service, and let me tell you, Little Italy has come to life.
